π¨π¨π¨...LONG POST...5 YEARS AGO TODAY I went Full-Time with my business and it was the BEST decision I ever made!! At the time I was working from home during covid. 1 morning I received a call from my supervisor & her boss to tell me they were doing layoffs due to covid, business being down,etc and they had to let me go. I had given this company "12YRS" of my life and at 1st I thought to myself " how am I getting the boot first when I'm 1 of the most senior employees in the accounting dept/company?" But I didn't ask them ANY questions, I didn't shed a tear nor was I worried even though the World was shutting down and I had a family to take care of financially. I simply said "ok, when do I need to turn in my computer?" Then, I remember the next call being to my Mom and she was full of emotions and I said "Mama, I'm going to be ok, God has me."
When the world slowly started to open back up I had to decide if I was going back to Corporate or doing my business and I chose the business. Then things got REAL bc now this was my SOURCE OF INCOME!! Now I'm not going to say this journey has been easy bc it HASN'T π©. Many times I wondered if I made the right decision for my girls & I, if I'm crazy for taking this leap, etc but when I see the smiles on my client's faces its confirmation that I did the right thing and through faith, prayer, consistency, networking, perseverance and GOD I've made it through!! HE has made all of this possible. I've watched the business grow from only balloons... to decor & balloons... to decor, balloons, baskets, personalized items, crafts & weddings (which have become my Lil baby π₯°). I truly thank each & every person that has supported my business in any way whether it's been direct booking, referrals, sharing posts, etc. YOU ARE TRULY APPRECIATED from the bottom of my heart bc without YOU there's no ME!! God knows my hearts desire & HE will never leave me nor forsake me!! Cheers to 2025!! More events & and making memories!! 8yrs in business, 5yrs Full-Time!! β₯οΈππ½β₯οΈππ½β₯οΈππ½
